We saw some amazing places that we would never have been able to find on our own, not too off the beaten track (we are not the best hikers) but still away from the crowds which we were very impressed by given it was August and there were lots of tourists in the park in general. We were able to do everything that we wanted to as well as see some of the most beautiful and interesting spots we didn't even know existed! Pedro was able to answer all of the long list of questions we had from culture, geology, history and everything in between! We also had a wonderful lunch (and goodie bag filled with locally made treats) which is one of the best meals we've had in Portugal. Even my partner's more restrictive dietary requirements were catered for which was a big relief to us! We could never have toured the national park like we did without Pedro's insight and will certainly be asking for another tour when we return!

Each time is new, exciting and exhilarating. They always know special spots for dips in the rivers and near waterfalls, hidden in magical spots..with Covid they provide masks as they are very invironment aware. Special friendly people. I have also experienced their picnics..wow. …

April 17, 2018We had to alter our booking for kayaking down the river in Porto, due to lack of water for safe passage along the river. We opted to try canyoning, ... read more and it turned out to be a superb day. From the beginning all communication with Keen Tours was prompt, professional and friendly. The day of our trip, we were collected promptly and driven in comfort to the remote rural villages in the Geres national park. Our guide was Pedro, who had an amazing knowledge and very obvious love of the area and it's flora fauna and people. He was brilliant. Our canyoning expert guide was Carlos, who was equally proficient in his field, and though we were novice, was very patient with us, and relaxed professional and so good at getting all the gear set up, he made it look easy which I know it wasn't.
We had such good fun canyoning down the river, and a lovely tour of the local area, seeing the villages and wild ponies, also a delicious hearty meal, made with local produce in a great little restaurant. Highly recommend this tour company. I only wish we were here longer and could go and do some stuff with them. I have no doubt it would be brilliant. Priceless memories. Thanks More

December 1, 2021I engaged Keen Tours for a private transfer from Valenca to Guimaraes via Peneda Geres in May 2022. Rita was very helpful and kept me informed about arrangements as... read more the day approached. Pick up in Valenca was exactly on time and over the next 12 hours Pedro and Rita delivered perhaps the best value "tour" I have ever purchased. We were blessed with beautiful weather and began the day with a couple of walks on the "yellow mountain" where the scotch broom and gorse were both in full bloom. Pedro was full of information about the geology, the flora and the history - including medieval wolf traps and grain stores. After a lovely lunch in their home village we progressed to a walk on the roman road in the forested section of the park - and a selection of stunning wild swimming spots. We only left the park as dusk fell and then they dropped me at my accomodation in Guimaraes. It was a very full and perfect day in wonderful company (as well as being knowledgeable, Rita and Pedro are both lovely people). I cannot recommend this company highly enough and am already plotting when and how I might return to explore the little known mountain Camino with them.

My wife and I booked the Gerês Glacial Landscape Geotour as part of our visit to northern Portugal. Pedro was a fantastic guide and great companion for our day's adventure.... read more He picked us up in Porto and drove us to and from our destination in Peneda-Gerês National Park.
Pedro truly took us off the beaten path. We drove to our hiking location up rocky roads that we would never have been able to navigate, yet alone find on our own. We crossed into a limited access area that is not opened to the general public into a rocky mountainous land.
Highlights included our delicious picnic lunch (catered to our vegetarian diet) at a local shepherd's shelter; tour of a "wolf trap;" Pedro's passionate description of the geology of the post-glacial landscape; mingling among wild horses; and the cool dip in a waterfall-fed kettle pool at the end of the hot hike. Along the way Pedro also took a slew of photos that were shared with us.
We highly recommend a trip with Keen Tours.

Pedro knows and loves this area of Portugal. With a Masters degree in geology he is very knowledgeable about the history of the area.
